1. Album sounds a lot like Disturbed. 2. Its bosser than Disturbed, which makes it pretty dope in my opinion. rrFinally a decently heavy band deciding to do clean vocals, but keep their previous instrumentals. Fuck ATR's ralbum, but this time it works for me. rAlbum is simple, but has sick riffage and catchy choruses. Rarely rabandons a melody. rMost sputnikers won't like it. But this album kicks ass. rGotta bump Nate's comment though I disagree, haha.

Ooh, now I get it, so the frontman of Disturbed decided to produce this album! That probably explains why it's fucking garbage. Sorry Trivium, I'll stick to Shogun and Ascendancy instead of this shit. Oh, and the vocals are laughably bad too.

Sounds like a watered down version of Trivium. How did they not realise the best parts of In Waves were the heavy parts? Now there are hardly any screams. I feel sorry for Augusto, he has to downplay so hard on this one, I bet he's falling asleep while playing this live.

Not like this band was top notch before, but why did David Draiman produce this and why did Trivium agree to reformulate all their songs to sound like Disturbed. This is an embarrasing album to say the least.

There's some good ideas here, but the album fails to expand upon or really flesh them out. Everything falls back to the same damn "chugga chug chugga chugga" riff and the same damn vocal hooks and melodies. It's frustrating to listen to because they can definitely do more.

This album is awful. Not only do most of the tracks sound like none of the members give a
shit but also tracks "Brave This Storm" and "To Believe" are very clearly Disturbed rip-
offs. Suffice to say the 4 tracks I decided not to delete from my library are rarely going
to be listened to by me.

I think the music quality is top notch. The music sounds way better than In Waves. On my
second listen
through I started to hear some Shogun qualities in a few songs which was awesome. The vocals
are just so
fucking frustrating. If Matt doesn't like to scream anymore he should come out and say so.
Most of the clean
sections would sound so much better if they were harsh/screamed. Its clear this album was
designed for
bigger stadiums. Every song sounds like it'd sound great live. It actually really pisses me
off how I'll be headbanging to the sections with no vocals, and then when the cleans come in
it just kinda ruins it.

David Draiman is a bad producer and he should feel bad because of the abysmal job he did on this album. I was never much a fan of Trivium's metalcore/Metallica wannabe style, but they were always a tolerable band until this record. This is sloppy, awkward and barely listenable all thanks to the mixing/production values and not the band themselves.

Matt Heafy and friends can't hold onto the ice cold dagger, unfortunately enough. Vengeance Falls isn't so much an abysmal effort as it is pretty damn underwhelming and not fun to sit through. David Draiman's production style doesn't bode well with the material either, which unto itself is a bit more hard rock-oriented than the thrash-meets-metalcore formula some were expecting. Perhaps the only track on this album that I think is rather great would be "No Way to Heal", with some others such as "Brave the Storm" being decent and "Villainy Thrives" painful.

After listening to this, I had to put on "Pull Harder On...", "Entrance of the Conflagration", and "Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis" to remind me of the real Trivium. This is watered down, plain and simple.

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be actually. There aren't any terrible moments on this thing but like In Waves, Vengeance Falls suffers from being way too long. However, I would say this album as a whole is better than In Waves.
